Trichromatic Theory

Trichromatic Theory explains how we perceive color through three types of cones in our eyes, each sensitive to different wavelengths of light: red, green, and blue. When light hits these cones, they send signals to our brain, which combines the information to create the full spectrum of colors we see. For example, if red and green cones are stimulated together, we perceive the color yellow. This theory helps us understand color vision and its biological basis, highlighting the important role of these three color receptors in our daily visual experiences.
